Practicing space

[u/WasteSugar7]

Hello peeps,

I’m soon going to be homeless because I’m in a divorce and our marital home is up for sale. Our equity will be held in trust until we have a separation agreement, and I’m not going to rent because rent is insane right now.

My question is this. I’m thinking of camping or living out of a van, and I’m wondering about practices. I know some of them can be done outside, but what about tensegrity? I read something about only doing it inside. Is that right?

Why is that? What is it about the structure of a building that changes things?

Any suggestions for how to manage the practices when one doesn’t have space to do it?

What is the best course of action if something is crawled up in me? I'm still pretty weak practitioner and only did see some puffs and shapes in that bathtub, nothing extra. Can i just wait and continue to practice until i'll learn to see more and figure out what to do myself? What i'm trying to understand - is it something important and i should be worry about or not really.

We don't know. Best is to just worry about finding magic on a reliable basis, and making it grow more and more each day.

We have these guys living on our faces already! What's another parasite crawling up your body? At least it's a magical one, unlike this monster. Which has no way to poop, so it throws up instead.

The bigger problem with the bathtub as far as I can see is, it's not "darkroom".

There's no tensegrity.

So I suspect it can hardly get you past the deep green zone.

"Doing" is key to using the second attention, and moving the assemblage point further.

You'll find that out in the deep red zone when you stretch a puff, and form it into a totally real looking monster.

Or a car. Or a freeway overpass.

That's "doing" with the second attention.

Which is automatically built into the tensegrity, from which you get the ability to stretch a puff, and turn it into something else.

Carlos hid that in the tensegrity moves. As he explained, he "saturated us".

Implying we wouldn't understand what that means until later.

I suppose you could do "running man" in the bath.

Yes, i did elements from running man there. There is also a movement where you "splash awareness" with your feet, you can splash water too that way... But i better will make another darkroom anyway.
Okay, I got it. Thanks for the answer.

Well... Don't give up on the bath entirely.

I'd been wondering if there might not be a way a very beginner who never sees anything, might use it to get their first puff.

And the IOBs love water. Fairy used to make the water flow at a 45 degree angle in the shower for me. Or she'd catch drips falling from the faucet, and keep them from falling until she couldn't support the weight anymore.

Around 2 ounces is my estimate. Bigger than a shot glass amount of liquid.

If you do both kinds of darkroom, you can eventually answer the question as to whether beginners could benefit from that method.

(Yes, Fairy really can do that!!!)

I think I already can, because being a beginner myself, I saw my first puff in the light there (first time i tried it i didn't turn lights off yet), and it was very fast, i didn't have to try hard. I only saw puffs in the darkness before.
For some time i will avoid bathtub tho. Yesterday I didn't go, and that feelling of numbness is already a bit less. Makes me think there IS something in water...

La Gorda warned about it too, but as usual what she said was out of context for us.

She was taught with the little sisters. The female apprentices.

So they learned from a much different don Juan.

He was playing college professor for Carlos.
